Open trunking

Open trunking is an optional license-keyed feature that monitors the data flows on ISLs (from a

receive port to a target domain) and periodically reroutes data from congested links to lightly

loaded links. It makes the most efficient use of redundant ISLs between switches.
Load balancing does not require user configuration, other than to enable open trunking. However,

you can modify default settings for congestion thresholds (per port).
You do not need to manually configure ISLs into trunk groups of redundant links where data can be

off-loaded. Open trunking identifies candidate links for rerouting and maintains the links

automatically.
